ADRS (Adverse Drug Reaction Standard) Chart is a way to identify specific reactions
that may occur more frequently with certain drugs. We recommend that you view the
information on ADRS Chart
to better understand how this chart is created. Note that the percent of
adverse events is from the total reported events on the drug you are charting, NOT
from the total number of people who took the drug.
Once the chart appears on your
screen, you can click on the dots to reveal the individual adverse event terms.
To compare between various factors, you can chart a drug by gender for example, where males ('M') is selected in the first chart, and females ('F') in the second chart.
The secondary suspect drug allows you to see if certain drug combinations
are associated with increased risk of adverse events. To see that, you can enter a secondary suspect drug in one of the charts and then compare the two charts. Note that in the
second chart, you can check 'Select all'. This option allows you to create a chart of adverse events combined for all drugs in a quarter.
